DM was calling generic_fsdax_supported() to determine whether a device
referenced in the DM table supports DAX. However this is a helper for "leaf" device drivers so that
they don't have to duplicate common generic checks. High level code
should call dax_supported() helper which that calls into appropriate
helper for the particular device. This problem manifested itself as
kernel messages:
dm-3: error: dax access failed (-95)
when lvm2-testsuite run in cases where a DM device was stacked on top of
another DM device.

When calling __generic_fsdax_supported(), a dax-unsupported device may
not have dax_dev as NULL, e.g. the dax related code block is not enabled
by Kconfig.
Therefore in __generic_fsdax_supported(), to check whether a device
supports DAX or not, the following order of operations should be
performed:
- If dax_dev pointer is NULL, it means the device driver explicitly
announce it doesn't support DAX. Then it is OK to directly return
false from __generic_fsdax_supported().
- If dax_dev pointer is NOT NULL, it might be because the driver doesn't
support DAX and not explicitly initialize related data structure. Then
bdev_dax_supported() should be called for further check.
If device driver desn't explicitly set its dax_dev pointer to NULL,
this is not a bug. Calling bdev_dax_supported() makes sure they can be
recognized as dax-unsupported eventually.

Commit 231609785c ("dax: print error message by pr_info()
in __generic_fsdax_supported()") happens to print the following
error message during booting when the non-persistent memory block
devices are configured by device mapper. Those error messages are
caused by the variable 'dax_dev' is NULL. Users might be confused
with those error messages since they do not use the persistent
memory device. Moreover, users might scare about "what's wrong
with my disks" because they see the 'error' and 'failed' keywords.

In struct dax_operations, the callback routine dax_supported() returns
a bool type result. For false return value, the caller has no idea
whether the device does not support dax at all, or it is just some mis-
configuration issue.
An example is formatting an Ext4 file system on pmem device on top of
a NVDIMM namespace by,
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/pmem0
If the fs block size does not match kernel space memory page size (which
is possible on non-x86 platform), mount this Ext4 file system will fail,
# mount -o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt
mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/pmem0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
And from the dmesg output there is only the following information,
[ 307.853148] EXT4-fs (pmem0): DAX unsupported by block device.
The above information is quite confusing. Because definitely the pmem0
device supports dax operation, and the super block is consistent as how
it was created by mkfs.ext4.
Indeed the failure is from __generic_fsdax_supported() by the following
code piece,
if (blocksize != PAGE_SIZE) {
pr_debug("%s: error: unsupported blocksize for dax\n",
bdevname(bdev, buf));
return false;
}
It is because the Ext4 block size is 4KB and kernel page size is 8KB or
16KB.
It is not simple to make dax_supported() from struct dax_operations
or __generic_fsdax_supported() to return exact failure type right now.
So the simplest fix is to use pr_info() to print all the error messages
inside __generic_fsdax_supported(). Then users may find informative clue
from the kernel message at least.
Message printed by pr_debug() is very easy to be ignored by users. This
patch prints error message by pr_info() in __generic_fsdax_supported(),
when then mount fails, following lines can be found from dmesg output,
[ 2705.500885] pmem0: error: unsupported blocksize for dax
[ 2705.500888] EXT4-fs (pmem0): DAX unsupported by block device.
Now the users may have idea the mount failure is from pmem driver for
unsupported block size.

zero_page_range() dax operation is mandatory for dax devices. Right now
that check happens in dax_zero_page_range() function. Dan thinks that's
too late and its better to do the check earlier in alloc_dax().
I also modified alloc_dax() to return pointer with error code in it in
case of failure. Right now it returns NULL and caller assumes failure
happened due to -ENOMEM. But with this ->zero_page_range() check, I
need to return -EINVAL instead.

Add a dax operation zero_page_range, to zero a page. This will also clear any
known poison in the page being zeroed.
As of now, zeroing of one page is allowed in a single call. There
are no callers which are trying to zero more than a page in a single call.
Once we grow the callers which zero more than a page in single call, we
can add that support. Primary reason for not doing that yet is that this
will add little complexity in dm implementation where a range might be
spanning multiple underlying targets and one will have to split the range
into multiple sub ranges and call zero_page_range() on individual targets.

Looks like nobody is using fs_dax_get_by_host() except fs_dax_get_by_bdev()
and it can easily use dax_get_by_host() instead.
IIUC, fs_dax_get_by_host() was only introduced so that one could compile
with CONFIG_FS_DAX=n and CONFIG_DAX=m. fs_dax_get_by_bdev() achieves
the same purpose and hence it looks like fs_dax_get_by_host() is not

completely pointless - dentries of pipes are not even connected
to pipefs root. However, mount_pseudo() had set the root
dentry name (passed as the second argument) and callers
kept inventing names to pass to it. Including those that
didn't *have* any non-root dentries to start with...
All of that had been pointless for about 8 years now; it's

Pankaj reports that starting with commit ad428cdb52 "dax: Check the
end of the block-device capacity with dax_direct_access()" device-mapper
no longer allows dax operation. This results from the stricter checks in
__bdev_dax_supported() that validate that the start and end of a
block-device map to the same 'pagemap' instance.
Teach the dax-core and device-mapper to validate the 'pagemap' on a
per-target basis. This is accomplished by refactoring the
bdev_dax_supported() internals into generic_fsdax_supported() which
takes a sector range to validate. Consequently generic_fsdax_supported()
is suitable to be used in a device-mapper ->iterate_devices() callback.
A new ->dax_supported() operation is added to allow composite devices to
split and route upper-level bdev_dax_supported() requests.

Pull device-dax updates from Dan Williams:
"New device-dax infrastructure to allow persistent memory and other
"reserved" / performance differentiated memories, to be assigned to
the core-mm as "System RAM".
Some users want to use persistent memory as additional volatile
memory. They are willing to cope with potential performance
differences, for example between DRAM and 3D Xpoint, and want to use
typical Linux memory management apis rather than a userspace memory
allocator layered over an mmap() of a dax file. The administration
model is to decide how much Persistent Memory (pmem) to use as System
RAM, create a device-dax-mode namespace of that size, and then assign
it to the core-mm. The rationale for device-dax is that it is a
generic memory-mapping driver that can be layered over any "special
purpose" memory, not just pmem. On subsequent boots udev rules can be
used to restore the memory assignment.
One implication of using pmem as RAM is that mlock() no longer keeps
data off persistent media. For this reason it is recommended to enable
NVDIMM Security (previously merged for 5.0) to encrypt pmem contents
at rest. We considered making this recommendation an actively enforced
requirement, but in the end decided to leave it as a distribution /
administrator policy to allow for emulation and test environments that
lack security capable NVDIMMs.
Summary:
- Replace the /sys/class/dax device model with /sys/bus/dax, and
include a compat driver so distributions can opt-in to the new ABI.
- Allow for an alternative driver for the device-dax address-range
- Introduce the 'kmem' driver to hotplug / assign a device-dax
address-range to the core-mm.
- Arrange for the device-dax target-node to be onlined so that the
newly added memory range can be uniquely referenced by numa apis"
NOTE! I'm not entirely happy with the whole "PMEM as RAM" model because
we currently have special - and very annoying rules in the kernel about
accessing PMEM only with the "MC safe" accessors, because machine checks
inside the regular repeat string copy functions can be fatal in some
(not described) circumstances.
And apparently the PMEM modules can cause that a lot more than regular
RAM. The argument is that this happens because PMEM doesn't necessarily
get scrubbed at boot like RAM does, but that is planned to be added for
the user space tooling.
Quoting Dan from another email:
"The exposure can be reduced in the volatile-RAM case by scanning for
and clearing errors before it is onlined as RAM. The userspace tooling
for that can be in place before v5.1-final. There's also runtime
notifications of errors via acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() from
background scrubbers on the DIMM devices. With that mechanism the
kernel could proactively clear newly discovered poison in the volatile
case, but that would be additional development more suitable for v5.2.
I understand the concern, and the need to highlight this issue by
tapping the brakes on feature development, but I don't see PMEM as RAM
making the situation worse when the exposure is also there via DAX in
the PMEM case. Volatile-RAM is arguably a safer use case since it's
possible to repair pages where the persistent case needs active
application coordination"

In support of multiple device-dax instances per device-dax-region and
allowing the 'kmem' driver to attach to dax-instances instead of the
current device-node access, convert the dax sub-system from a class to a
bus. Recall that the kmem driver takes reserved / special purpose
memories and assigns them to be managed by the core-mm.
Aside from the fact the device-dax instances are registered and probed
on a bus, two other lifetime-management changes are made:
1/ Delay attaching a cdev until driver probe time
2/ A new run_dax() helper is introduced to allow restoring dax-operation
after a kill_dax() event. So, at driver ->probe() time we run_dax()
and at ->remove() time we kill_dax() and invalidate all mappings.

In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to
be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap
page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and
generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax
filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the
MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it.
The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a
dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free /
idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to
check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path
we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static
branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary.
Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for
receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific
static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths
can enable.
For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support,
care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure.
However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case
implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to
read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If
gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that
does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process
with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers
SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths
break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not
map pages.
In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap
pages. We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast()
path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX
drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them
to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration
option which requires ->direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns.
This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal.
Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back
there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next
generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that
struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the
kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable
conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have
long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher
order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and
pfn_to_page().

Commit abebfbe2f7 ("dm: add ->flush() dax operation support") is
buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and
all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush
request to the first device and ignores the other devices.
It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But
there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops->flush - that
is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we
don't need the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction at all, we can call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev->ops->flush
can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem().
It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it
is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline),
and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for
a single flushed cache line.
Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction and call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device
mapper code that forwards the flushes.

Add a helper that can replace the following common pattern:
if (blk_queue_dax(bdev->bd_queue))
fs_dax_get_by_host(bdev->bd_disk->disk_name);
This will be used to move dax_device lookup from iomap-operation time to
fs-mount time.

Currently dm_dax_flush() is not being called, even if underlying dax
device supports write cache, because DAXDEV_WRITE_CACHE is not being
propagated up to the DM dax device.
If the underlying dax device supports write cache, set
DAXDEV_WRITE_CACHE on the DM dax device. This will cause dm_dax_flush()
to be called.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This
pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to
undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem.
The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al.
Summary:
- Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use
them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The
_flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed
for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy
operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush).
- Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush()
operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow
all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into
libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific
sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example:

The dax_flush() operation can be turned into a nop on platforms where
firmware arranges for cpu caches to be flushed on a power-fail event.
The ACPI 6.2 specification defines a mechanism for the platform to
indicate this capability so the kernel can select the proper default.
However, for other platforms, the administrator must toggle this setting
manually.
Given this flush setting is a dax-specific mechanism we advertise it
through a 'dax' attribute group hanging off a host device. For example,
a 'pmem0' block-device gets a 'dax' sysfs-subdirectory with a
'write_cache' attribute to control response to dax cache flush requests.
This is similar to the 'queue/write_cache' attribute that appears under
block devices.

Require all dax-drivers to register a ->copy_from_iter() operation so
that it is clear which dax_operations are optional and which must be
implemented for filesystem-dax to operate.

Allow device-mapper to route flush operations to the
per-target implementation. In order for the device stacking to work we
need a dax_dev and a pgoff relative to that device. This gives each
layer of the stack the information it needs to look up the operation
pointer for the next level.
This conceptually allows for an array of mixed device drivers with
varying flush implementations.
